the second thing is let's not look at this as a tax deduction. whether you give, i giving or anyone else gives, it costs us money. it's a choice, and it's a choice we don't benefit from. i don't look at it when i choose to give each year as a deduction. i sit down with my wife and decide how much money we can afford to invest in community action. and we think how much more can the charity get with the tax deduction added in. it's about extending the value what i am already giving away. >> tom: a three to one return on investment is the statistic you got, right? >> that's a statistic that comes out of giving u.s.a. i think that's a pretty good rate of return. and if any stock i invested in showed that, i would be a pretty happy guy. >> tom: good point. we have to leave it there. add waw who heads up the associate of fund-raising professionals. >> thanks. >> tom: monday, with the markets closed for presidents' day, we dive deeper into giving social investing and corporate citizenship. it's conscious capital, an "n.b.r." special edition.. you can re

it's not just that they can't agree on specific cuts and tax increases, they can't even agree on the goal. darren gersh, "n.b.r.," washington. >> susie: let's get more analysis from stan collender. he's a former staffer for the budget committees in the house and the senate and now senior partner at qorvis communications in washington. >> susie: so, stan, what do you think of this new simpson bowles plan, is it doable? >> no, it is not doable. democrats and republicans are both equally attacked. it never had a chance to begin with. simpson and bowles didn't get their original plan through their own commission. this is just a plea for attention. >> susie: all right, so here we are, down to the wire, and congress isn't even in session and we're coming up on that deadline. you've been through so many of these budget battles on the hill before. so do we get a deal on march 1? >> almost certainly not. the sequester was designed to be the worst possible alternative, as darren said. but what we're discovering it is the best possible alternative, compared to more tax increases, more spending.

and massive tax increases could have taken place, but sequestration won't put us into a recession, but it takes a little of the edge off for things starting to look a little better in our economy. >> susie: you mentioned a moment ago about our economy muddling through and that was one of your 10 predictions back in january and you talked about the stock market grinding higher. are you making any changes on those predictions? >> not really, susie. the economy -- it is only february -- is muddling through. that's about all we can say for it. the stock market in january galloped higher. it didn't grind higher. i think that could have been the best month of the year, not that we won't see higher highs from here. in fact, our view is we'll hit a new all-time high. but it is not going to be a straight line. bull markets don't go straight up. we'll have pauses -- hopefully pauses that refresh. as you know, right now we're in a funky period for the market. we're kind of going sideways, and volatility has gone way down, which usually means some complacency has crept in. >> susie: you had a pred

and it's not just about getting the tax deduction. >> we see that taxes are very much a consideration in how folks might structure their giving and in the timing of their gift, but they are rarely part of the giving equation in terms of why people choose to give. >> tom: why give now? how to give? eileen heisman is the president and c.e.o. of the national philanthropic trust. so eileen, if you have made the decision, how do you begin to decide how to give. like cash, time or maybe some other asset? >> it depends on what kind of assets you have. if you have cash that's the only thing you v you might want to write a check or go on-line, do an on-line contribution. but a lot of people who are giving especially large amounts are over age 65 and a lot of those people have acquired closely held stock, appreciated securities and gifts and there are a lot of appreciated publicly traded securities. if that's what you have and you've had it for more than a year and a day it's called long term appreciated assets and you can gift those and it's a effective taxing vehicle. >> tom: when you give th

sequester's cuts if we just raise taxes on the wealthy by $54 billion. darren gersh sat down today with michigan senator debbie stabenow. she's a key player on the senate democratic leadership team. he began by asking her why democrats also want to cut direct payments to farmers to help replace the sequester. >> we have very tough decisions to make. and in the farmbelt that's exactly what we did. we looked at every single page, what works, what doesn't. and what's the priority, what should taxpayers pay for, what shouldn't they pay for. and we determined that a subsidy that went to farmers, regardless of their loss, so high prices, good times, you still get a government payment didn't make any sense. >> one of the things some farm groups are saying right now times are good for farmers but they won't always be good. so what happens when prices go down? >> well, we absolutely as-- as a nation need to be there for our farmers and ranchers during hard times because we have a stake in having the most stable, affordable food supply in the world. that's why in
